With home advantage, the Vietnamese team created a surprise for Thailand. In the first 15 minutes, they pressed the field and created a series of opportunities. At least 4 times, the Thai goal was in danger.
In the 3rd minute, Bui Vi Hao jumped high and headed the ball into the sky from close range. Xuan Son and Van Thanh also had a few shots but lacked accuracy.
After overcoming the early pressure, Thailand gradually regained control of the game. However, the Vietnamese defense played calmly, easily neutralizing the opponent's attacks. The home team even had more shots.
In the second half, coach Kim Sang Sik sent Quang Hai onto the field. The Vietnamese team's game also became brighter as they boldly held the ball and organized attacks.
After many threats, the goal finally came to the home team. The one who shined was none other than Nguyen Xuan Son with a smart run and a close-range header into the Thai net in the 59th minute.
It is also necessary to mention Quang Hai with an accurate long pass for Van Thanh to run down and head the ball for Xuan Son.

In the 73rd minute, the striker born in 1997 shone again. He stole the ball right in his own half and then drove straight into the Thai penalty area. Xuan Son unleashed a left-footed shot that was so dangerous that goalkeeper Patiwat had no chance to block it.
Leading by a safe margin, the Vietnamese team switched to a deep defensive style to preserve the score. However, Thailand still scored a goal with a header by Chalermsak in the 83rd minute.
The 2-1 score was maintained until the end of the match, giving the Vietnamese team many advantages before traveling to Thailand for the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final.
